macrophytes

While the dam flooded what was previously the town of Arenal, it also created new life: there are more than 35 species of zooplankton, 14 species of macrophytes and 37 species of fish, predominantly cichlids and livebearers.

Species found associated with these mangroves because of their location adjacent to tropical forests and because of high freshwater input include the tropical forest species, leguminosae vine (Dalbergia brownei), and Apocynaceae liana (Rhabdadenia biflora); freshwater macrophytes, Araceae Montrichardia arborescens, and Leguminosae Mora oleifera; and palm species, Euterpe oleracea and Orbygnia martiana.

While the potential northern limit for emergent aquatic macrophytes is not fully known, their projected increased presence will clearly influence the overall productivity and structural complexity of arctic pond and lake habitats.

Changes in aquatic biota and ecosystem structure and function in the Arctic 2009

Preserved remains of aquatic organisms, such as algae and macrophytes, provide additional information on aquatic ecosystem characteristics and lake-level status.

The banded sculpin and slender madtom occur in small streams, especially where aquatic macrophytes are present, and the southern redbelly dace inhabits headwaters.

Aquatic multicellular macrophytes include macroalgae (the green algae in the family Characeae), non-vascular plants (e.g., mosses), or vascular plants (the flowering plants).

To the south, conductance and macrophytes in the lakes tend to increase.

Ecoregions of Florida (EPA) 2008

The lakes tend to have abundant macrophytes or are green with algae.

Ecoregions of Florida (EPA) 2008

Aquatic macrophytes may be classified as emergent (e.g., cattails), free-floating (e.g. water lilies), or submerged macrophytes.

Aquatic plants 2008

The three main types of aquatic plants are (1) single-celled phytoplankton, (2) periphyton (algae growing attached to substrates) and (3) multicellular macrophytes.
